[PDF] arrays can store references to the objects of a class.

Storing Objects in an array Yes, since objects are also considered as datatypes (reference) in Java, you can create an array of the type of a particular class and, populate it with instances of that class.

  • Are arrays object references?

    In Java, arrays are full-fledged objects, and, like any other object in a Java program, are created dynamically. Array references can be used anywhere a reference to type Object is called for, and any method of Object can be invoked on an array.

  • Are arrays stored by reference?

    Like all Java objects, arrays are passed by value but the value is the reference to the array.
    So, when you assign something to a cell of the array in the called method, you will be assigning to the same array object that the caller sees.
    This is NOT pass-by-reference.

  • Where are array object references stored?

    Storage of Arrays
    As discussed, the reference types in Java are stored in heap area.
    Since arrays are reference types (we can create them using the new keyword) these are also stored in heap area.
    In addition to primitive datatypes arrays also store reference types: Another arrays (multi-dimensional), Objects.

  • Where are array object references stored?

    Arrays are classified as Homogeneous Data Structures because they store elements of the same type.
    They can store numbers, strings, boolean values (true and false), characters, objects, and so on.
